Another fan sent their condolences, writing: "So sorry Eamonn. Grief never goes away completely. Sending prayers and love."
Eamonn recently gave a heartfelt interview about his father's death on RTE One's The Meaning of Life.
Reflecting on his upbringing, the broadcaster revealed he once feared for his own life after he found himself struggling to breathe a few weeks after his father's death.
"One time I was in Israel and I began to feel ill," he explained. "My heart started beating and I was losing my breath. I was becoming really dizzy and I fell down on my knees.
"I thought I was going to die the way my dad died. My dad had just died six weeks earlier. I passed out and the next thing I knew I was in the back of an ambulance. It actually makes me nervous thinking about it now."
